New Wave -- Ramones, Patti Smith, the Dead Boys etc

This was pressed in 1977, but when it was released in the Philippines, it was about four-five years after The Best of Punk and New Wave Rock was released. I even remember how this was promoted in the local press... "Discover new bands!" This was the first time I got to hear the Dead Boys, New York Dolls, Patti Smith, the Boomtown Rats, Richard Hell.

It was more punk than new wave actually so I thought the title was odd? Was it meant to deflect from the criticism that punk was anarchistic and chaotic? And because New Wave was in?

Whatever. It was fantastic. An entry point to new artists and I began to look for their albums.
